Does the opposing emf in the coil have anything to do with energy transfer, say in a motor or generator?
[edit] vandalism!

[edit] Clarity comment
This article needs some improvement. I am very baffled by it. Cheers. MyNameIsNotBob 09:27, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- Did it explain why a current is induced in the first place? To me it only explained that if there IS a current then it cannot be in the direction where the field generated is in the same direction as the initial magnetic field. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 219.74.106.209 (talk) 12:35, 15 May 2007 (UTC).
[edit] contradiction
The definition, and whatever the italicized text is before it, both say that the field opposes the change in flux, and the direction of the current is determined by the direction of that field. The “explanation” contradicts this, saying the current opposes the change in flux, and doesn’t even mention the field. Which is it? —Frungi 04:39, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- The field. Saying the current opposes the change in flux is just shorthand for saying that the field generated by the current opposes the change. Pfalstad 05:39, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- Doesn’t the current have its own direction? I thought the current went counter-clockwise around the field. —Frungi 13:10, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
